Another Cannes Film Festival has concluded, and the iconic film festival’s top prize, the Palme d’Or has been awarded to Fjord from director Cristian Mungiu. Nepal and Nepalese cinema made history at the festival by winning the country’s first-ever award at Cannes. Elephants in the Fog, a Nepalese film from director Abinash Bikram Shah, won the Jury Prize and the film appeared in the Un Certain Regard category. And Rwanda’s first-ever film to screen at the festival, Ben’Imana, won the Camera d’Or prize. The film explores reconciliation 20 years after the 1994 genocide in Rwanda against the Tutsi. At the closing ceremony over the weekend, which took place inside the Grand Théâtre Lumière along the famed Croisette, French actress Eye Haïdara hosted the closing ceremony (she was host for the opening ceremony, too).

(Davis also appears on this year’s festival poster – it’s an image from her film Thelma & Louise, which premiered at Cannes in 1991.)
